I love beaches. Born in the coastal city of Bombay (now called Mumbai), I just love the beaches. I can't swim and am terrified of going under water, but I still love to sit on the beach staring out at the sea...have spent hours doing that. Now living in Bangalore, I miss my beaches :-(

I love beaches. But for me to totally enjoy them I have to first have a relatively empty beach - with no more than 10 people around - less is better actually. And I have to be able to get at least partially wet. I hate some beaches where there are rocks between you and the water and all you can do is hear the waves hit the "shore" Given these two factors, any beach will do!

I love beaches. Here's a picture I took of the Mendocino coastline where Big River emties into the ocean. My photo is on this calendar for sale at my store, Art by Cathie http://www.cafepress.com/artbycathie
